Project Overview
The City of Forest Park is launching a feasibility study for an overpass pedestrian bridge that will span across SR 331/Forest Parkway and Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks. The bridge will connect pedestrians to Main Street, City Hall, Starr Park, and the proposed Model Mile Greenway Project. This study is led by the City of Forest Park with Regional Transportation Planning Study funding from the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and matching funds from the City of Forest Park.
We Need Your Help!
Community involvement and coordination with city staff and other agencies is an ongoing part of this feasibility study. A series of public engagement events will be hosted throughout the planning process to inform and hear from community members. This will include traditional public meetings and hearings, as well as pop-up appearances at City events to meet and engage with Forest Park residents and business owners. With the community's help, this study will help decide the best location for the pedestrian bridge.
Please be sure to check this engagement site often to see how you can stay involved in the process!
